Abstract:

In the framework of complex and symplectic toric geometry, we introduce a family of spaces, parametrized by positive real numbers, that includes all of the Hirzebruch surfaces. Each space is viewed from two distinct perspectives. First, as a leaf space of a compact, complex, foliated manifold. Second, as a symplectic cut of the manifold \({\mathbb C}\times S^2\) in a possibly nonrational direction.

This is joint work with Elisa Prato and Dan Zaffran.
